I wonder if converting them to all the other games systems is slowing down development. Make Spore for the PC and then the other system later :p

Actually I don't think that the development has been slowed at all. The PC is the main focus of Spore and console platforms will follow up, but I no longer believe that the console development is slowing down the overall development of Spore.

What makes Spore so interesting as opposed to the console versions of The Sims is that with the Live capabilities of the Xbox 360 is that in theory people could be playing the same version of Spore with the same creatures on both systems. That will be cool.

Especially when the Revolution controller gives me an evolutionary advantage over the sillt XBox 2 owners

(Im not calling it 360...but at least it wasn't XBox XP or something)

I think PC. But it may be easier to control your creature during evolution mode with the controller. But that stage is short compared to the rest of the game, which I think would be a hell of a lot easier with a mouse and keyboard.

People seem to be forgetting (not necessarily you) that each part is only short in that it's 1/5, 1/6, or 1/7 of the game depending on how you split it up, with the exception of the cell stage (9 ways to customize) and the galactic stage (endless).

True, but I'm just saying in comparison on how I will be playing, the Cell/Tribal part of my game should be quite short compared to how long I play with the City/Galactic stages. Which are more point-click based.

Also, think about how difficult it would be to customize your creatures with a controller. I mean playing The Sims on console takes a while to get used to, imagine trying to move the leg your adding just one pixel over with a D-pad.

I say PC will be easier. Although, depending on if the 360 gives Xbox players exclusive earnable items/objects/etc (as they have been stating with most of their games so far) the PC doesn't , I will definitely own both.
